□ [“Cuba’s Electrical Grid Suffers Complete Collapse"]

Well that explains why they've immediately started negotiating with Trump.  It's possible the elites have their own generators but that will make them very obvious targets and at risk for betrayal on their own side.  And if they don't have their own generators, they'd just be looking for a way to protect themselves until they can escape.

Iran isn't falling as quickly as I hoped but a couple months ago, Trump said he hoped to get to Cuba by the end of the year and this is already happening.  He's also gathered as many allies as he can in Central and South America to take out the narco-gangs.  There's been no news from Venezuela for a while so we'll see what happens there.

Gotta admit, I'm just amazed at how Trump is finally getting around to handling some of these long-standing problems.  Cuba has been a problem since my parents were children and nobody's bothered to do anything about it before him.  From there leftists have been able to access the whole region and serve as an entry point for others crossing the Atlantic.  Just as a point of resistance it's a major leftist icon and the people in charge are suddenly helpless.  The left always forgets that the enemy gets a vote too.  They didn't even bother producing any power sources for this nation.

I'm assuming this is made-up just to insult him.  Looking up Ayatollah Jr.'s history, he doesn't seem to have been one of those children of the elites who went to school in western countries so I'm guessing he didn't party with the infidel elites.  There are also rumors about problems having sex with his wife but I'd assume that's the same thing, it's about humiliating him in public.

The goal is to take the mullah regime out.  Not sure how well that's going but Trump is clearly playing on a deeper and wider level than most of his critics realize.  Muslim states are angry that Iran was bombing them, even Hamas spoke out against this.  Al Jazeera just released an editorial on how effective Trump's attacks have been at weakening the regime and separating them from others.  They can cut off the Strait but then they can't ship out their own oil to their own allies, i.e. China.

Not sure how seriously it should be taken but reportedly nations are refusing to send their own ships to the Strait and help us.  It's quite possible they're actually doing it but lying about it in public.  Even there, it's not a good sign for anybody, for our so-called allies refusing to do anything against a real threat and for Trump not getting nations to genuinely side with him.  He can criticize NATO for this but they're not obligated to join in.

□ [“Greta Thunberg calls for oil tankers to be sent to Cuba as nation suffers complete blackout"]

She's only famous for protesting fossil fuels and sees nothing wrong with immediately supporting fossil fuels if it helps a tyrannical regime against the US.  That's basically what leftism is for you.  I have no clue what she does regularly, or how she earns a living for that matter, but I think the last time I paid any attention to her it was when she was taking gays over to Palestine to protest Israel.  They were almost there but someone finally realized this may not go the way they expect so they stopped.

The anti-oil movement is going downhill, slowly but persistently.  More than anything, I think people are tired of elites going around on big jets telling the rest of us what we're no longer allowed to do.  You don't think oil companies have spent years researching how to make profitable solar power to make them even richer?  It doesn't work, that's why humanity has never really gone for it.  If it worked, it would have been created ages ago.

His peers are turning on him, obviously, but they'd do the same thing in his situation.  They need the fossil fuel to keep the country running.  Pretending they're at war with Russia doesn't help.  Rich people keep their planes and mansions, everyone else suffers.  That's what leftism always dissolves into, a modern feudalism.  To the extent any peons are permitted to join the ruling class, they must conform without hesitation.  Only then can they reverse themselves to maintain power.

□ [“CNN Host Presses Pete Buttigieg:  Why Did the Biden Administration Do Nothing to Stop Iran?"]

They're still asking real questions?  I think several things are going on here.  First of all, CNN and other networks are probably getting desperate.  Their corporate masters have spent tons of money on streaming and still haven't found a real audience so these failing networks need to show that they can actually do something relevant like challenge the Democrat mentality.  The FCC also probably keeps asking why only one party is asked challenging questions from a 'news network.'

They're also trying to help potential candidates get some exercise.  Kamala Harris wouldn't know what to do with a real question and before her was Joe Biden.  Meanwhile Trump is giving so many interviews and answering so many media questions that it's amazing he ever finds time to seize more power and cause more wars while counting his money.  A lot of Democrats feel really burnt by how badly the 2024 primaries went and, if they're honest, the 2020 primaries too.  You don't have to come out like Trump but you need to at least try to appeal to Americans if you want to get their votes.

They're also facing the contradictions of leftism.  They associate with the elites and the world media so they actually see more of what's going on in the Middle East than they can tell us.  Trump is being far more effective than they want to give him credit for and after all these decades, even some Democrats have to wonder why nobody tried this before.  Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, why is Trump helping non-white countries more than liberals ever did?

More than anything else, that's probably the best thing Trump has brought to politics, pointing out that the left is just propaganda and elitism.  When the left is in charge, they deny individual freedom to ignore them and more people see that now.  'I'll call you whatever pronoun I want and don't care if you're offended by it.'  The left and their pet media really have no way to work with that so they're struggling with this.
